# RANDOM.ORG vs Random Tools

The clearest difference is rating: RANDOM.ORG at 4.6 against Random Tools's 4.0. RANDOM.ORG also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RANDOM.ORG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Random Tools sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RANDOM.ORG holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RANDOM.ORG has 1.3K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of RANDOM.ORG's written reviews are positive against 43% of Random Tools's.

RANDOM.ORG ships an update every 3 months, Random Tools every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
